I can't wait to see her goblin-posing-as-human disguise. Many of my favorite Irritability comics involve the "ridiculous disguise" trope.

I was going to make a joke about Robot's amputated arm, but you uploaded a fixed version just now. Work-in-progress comix!

The faces look subtly different from their usual forms.

Is the art style evolving on its own, or is this a consciously intended new direction?

[Mike]

because it's pencil I have a lot more power over the shading, so I'm using that to define their faces more, especially in the closeups.

They are about to get the disguises, but you may be disappointed by the degree of functionality. It is described in the last panel currently up.

Would it be possible to have a bigger view of the map?

[Mike]

yeah, I'll put it up as a bonus tonight. So, it won't show up on the front page, but if you go through the archives or hit back and then forward.

[GUIGUI]

Thanks for it.

Wow, what an ending. The goblin storyline seems like a parable for the global economy.

Also, I love the "I assumed you had tied him up" gag.

[Mike]

yeah, that's why I always called it "teen imperialism" or w/e.
I had planned on using/developing the smart goblin a lot more, but I really wanted to wrap this whole thing up.
